Looks a shade or two lighter to me, maybe Miniczar knows for sure. Might not be a bad idea to send him a PM or an email through http://www.newtonmarine.com

The 1967 Atlas was green not blue. I don't know the exact colors but it was defitinely grren white and red. No blue at all.

Nice picture Mike, not sure why the other one looked blue.

sometimes the water reflecting can make things not as they seem, both nice hull's if you notice the first blue looking boat is set up with either, no turn fin, or it's on the left for left turn??

From what I can tell, it looks like it turns left since the water out is on the boat's right side

Of course these two pictures are of different boats. The first is the 1967 Atlas, te very first Atlas. This was followed in 1968 by the long flat 35" Atlas that rolled at Seafair. The second pic is of 1969 Atlas, which becane the Atlas Van Lines II in 1970 when the cabover Atlas first boat designed by Jim Lucero came out. Not to be confused with Bill Muncey's Blue Blaster which didn't come out until 1977.

Just found a picture of the 68 Atlas, talk about an ugly boat http://www.newtonmarine.com/plan_details.php?prodId=361&category=5

Looking at the 70 cabover Atlas, it was sadly lacking in the style department too http://www.newtonmarine.com/plan_details.php?prodId=279&category=

Oh but I like that '70 U-29 atlas.

Always thought it would be a good scale... no wings to lose, pickle, and can have modern ride pads , easy access to engine, not many modeled. Easy paint job.

Plus Atlas headquarters is in my hometown... Evansville, Indiana
